That is not true. They can have an EULA governing their online services, while allowing you to play offline to your heart's content. There is no nuance.

The problem is that the only reason that something requires the service to function is so that the company can control how you use it. So, they are effectively stopping you from using a product you bought, because they can't keep tabs

They want to get ahead by pleasing the boss and doing everything they ask, they have no life outside work, they desperately need that job, they just aren’t good at saying no, etc.

I’ve tried M-x make-baby, but my baby will just alternate between two modes: eating, which she calls “normal mode”, and crying, which she calls “edit mode”. Should I be concerned? At this point I’m just trying to quit, but I don’t know how.

It’s impossible to know the best approach without understanding the specifics. It’s true that adding more resources quickly when you own the hardware will take more, but given how much cheaper it is, you can seriously over provision. Using

The result is the same, though: train the immunity system by having it attacking a dummy version of pathogen. The only difference is that newer vaccines are more sophisticated and can cause less side effects while still training the immunit

The idea that vaccines provide full immunity is a misconception. No vaccine provides that. They all have different rates of breakthrough infections and protection. There's nothing particularly special about the covid vaccines, except t

All these things have tradeoffs, but even with a kubernetes setup there is a variety ways you can configure it that will work better or worse for your workload. Regarding being the core business, in this regard, that doesn't matter tha

I think he compared hardware + team salary vs aws. After a certain size that starts tipping over to the side of having things on prem. Running things on prem is nothing scary. You just need people with the skill set needed to do it. But whe

You don’t need to reimplement everything aws provides. AWS provides services on demand for a huge costumer base. The sysadmin/devops team you set up needs to solve only your particular problem. You can often get a better, easier to use

That feels like these websites that have a list of stars with names associated with them. Sure, people do pay to be in those lists, but it feels a bit scamy.

That sounds like a really toxic way to handle the situation.

Can't your tech lead suggest that he'll do the release under the condition that someone from that other team pairs with him so that they learn how to do it?

I imagine the argument would be that the person that writes code at a corporation is not the same person who writes it for hobby. Even if they share the same body, one is just doing it for the cash and the other for fun.

That could be the case, but I've never heard about any studies about child safety in ancient Egypt. Though I'd like to read that. I really enjoy learning more about how the common folk lived in ancient times, what they thought abo

To be fair, cars are probably in their way out too. Their are indeed inefficient and dangerous tools. But yeah, being able to connect cities, people with the best society can offer is a benefit much greater than people using guns to threat

So your point is that it is not that bad because it really only happen once every couple days? I mean, let's say it happens once a month or once a year. Is it worth it? Are guns preventing more deaths than they are causing?

Using area still murk the waters. Some people may be legitimately meaning something other than market when they say area. So it's not really possible to say that every market occurrence can be replaced with market in the internal email

You can have a good understanding of most T&C by just having basic understanding of the law and using common sense. Obviously you’ll miss one thing or another due to not being a specialist. Also, a lot of these contracts have very stand
